Betrayed by hospice Marsha Joiner and April Donovan

Host Marsha Joiner with April Donovan.

April Donovan's Mother, Twila Apger, was 84 years old and her death was hastened by hospice in Michigan on January 1, 2020. A terrible way to bring in a new year. She had been diagnosed with mild dementia but had a urinary tract infection at the time of hospice takeover.  UTI can mimic signs of dementia and make them worse. She had been on a medication previously which is known to cause Tardic dyskinesia which can cause movements in the face and hands. Despite April telling hospice her Mother was not exhibiting signs of pain, they continued to drug her to death. Twila had all the reasons to live and wanted to live but her life was cut short.  April continues to remember her Mother and warns others of the dangers. 

Unsuspecting people’s life are being shortened by hospice with opioids and antipsychotic drugs resulting in starvation and dehydration leaving behind families who are in shock having witnessed their death and powerless to save them.
